Shared Experience
Your experience
- Tigelle with Modenese pesto, cold cuts and cheeses
- Tiramisu
I invite you to Modena, a city that I love and where I carry within me its traditions and appreciation for good food. I spent my childhood in the kitchen with my grandmother, immersed in the aromas and flavors of rustic cooking. I live a stone's throw from the historic center and it is here that I await you for a unique culinary experience. Don't just expect a lunch or dinner: what I offer is a real cooking demo! You will be able to see how I prepare tigelle (traditional Italian bread), following the tradition handed down to me. And after the tigelle, accompanied by local cold cuts/cheeses and organic jams, comes dessert: a properly made tiramisu, creamy, just sweet enough, with that touch of coffee that makes it irresistible!

- It was a wonderful experience. Between chatting and a glass of Lambrusco, Maria Luisa patiently guided us, teaching us the art of making tortellini. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the art of homemade pasta.
- We had the best time and the best food.
- I went with a friend to Maria Luisa's house to learn how to make tigelle. I really enjoyed the evening, fantastic company! It really feels like being at home, I had never made the dough before but I immediately felt comfortable. After the course, we all ate the tigelle she had prepared that morning, delicious! The tiramisu was also very good. Wonderful cat 😊
- Entering Maria Luisa’s house is like entering your own home. Beautiful experience and beautiful evening.
- Wonderful evening! Maria Luisa was amazing in preparing everything to perfection and pampering us with so much attention! We learned how to make tigelle and then ate and chatted endlessly. A lovely, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was immediately created among all the participants! We have to do it again! Thank you!!

Where
Maria Luisa
Cesarina from 2019Location: Modena (MO) Languages: Italian and EnglishModena is a city rich in tradition, famous throughout the world for good food and passion for the automotive industry. On its hills, you can see castles, fortresses, towers, and medieval villages, testimonies of its history, in a landscape that satisfies mind and spirit. Luisa spent her childhood in grandmother's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas and flavors of peasant cuisine. Every day she smelled the scent of fresh homemade pasta, tigelle, and crescentine, and it was exactly her grandmother who taught her to 'put your hands in the dough’. Our Cesarina lives closer to the historic center, where she hides a real treasure: the old family vinegar factory, which she loves to show her guests.
